I’ve learned that some people will just never be fucking happy and will always armchair something better than what the professionals can put together for them.

I live on a very red part of Long Island and this is exactly the same here. What really amazes me is I have friends who are in unions (town and so forth) and yet go on about the evils of them while enjoying all the benefits.

Too bad there isn’t someone, with McLaren F1 experience, looking to buy a team.

Man, the Germans really want the British, don’t they?

Yup. Seller tossed in everything but “Rambler Marlin” to get hits on searches. That’s BS. Thanks for pointing that out, I didn’t scroll down that far.

Reminds me of the time I told my landlord that the check was in the mail, but in fact, it was still in my checkbook- not having been filled out and signed, put into an envelope and then sent out.

The pulse pounding excitement of Article 2.5.1, he touched the car, and other assorted arcana is what keeps ‘em in the seats for F1 here in the US.

If they follow Integra tradition, it’ll be a Civic with more power. I’m OK with that.

Sneakers was practically flawless. My only complaint in the entire movie was the short bit where Mary McCormick’s character gets Werner to say passport. It felt forced when I saw it in the theater and I still cringe those thirty seconds, but other than that, one of my favorites I watch every year and one of James…

The more I read Jalopnik, the more I wonder if people here actually like cars. With any new launch, there are endless complaints that the car is underpowered, or overpriced, or overstyled or too bland.

I dunno, at the time my (teenage) friends and I thought it looked like a pretty decent thriller based on the theatrical trailer (don’t remember seeing any TV spots.) If anything we were happily surprised by how much comedy was in the movie.  To each their own I guess.

I will always upvote any mention of Sneakers.

I saw Sneakers in theaters as a kid and my take-away was that it had been very poorly marketed, mostly as a comedy with action elements. What I was expecting and what I got were different things, in a very good way. It’s an excellent caper flick with a top-notch cast.

I was just talking about Sneakers the other day. Trying to convince my 13 year old daughter to watch with me. We’ll see.

“...hanging out with his best friend, a beach ball...”

If Hanks puts any qualifications on his experience making The ‘burbs, it’s probably got to do with the fact that it was shot during a writer’s strike and they didn’t have a proper ending for the movie, and also with his discomfort at playing a dad for the first time in his career. Apparently he figured he’d get stuck…

“I want to kill everyone, satan is good, satan is our pal!”

The Burbs gets watched once or twice a year chez moi. (We’re doing s0me renovation and The Money Pit hits a little close to home, but we’ve probably got ‘em both on various media including VHS... I wonder any of our fleet of VCRs have a drive belt that isn’t dried out. But I digress)

Dennis is a true “cord cutter”

You had me at the QShaman outfit. Yes to literally all of this. Bring on Chief O’Brien!
